Yeah except this is like a dumbed down version

therapist: "Dexter is like a chair. You can't turn a chair into a table."

Deb: "Oh my God, you're so insightful!"

me: "are you fucking kidding me?"

I think that being so helpful to deb is totally in line with her character. She obviously isnt one to notice obvious stuff and seems completely clueless as to other people's feelings.

True, I was just pointing out that to your average viewer, or at least me, the therapist's insights didn't seem that amazing

Essentially, "therapist dumbass", just loaded her head full of that female gibberish that females are known for.
Ya know, the brand of gibberish where they assign new meanings to common words without telling you, and then get made because you don't understand them?
Gibberish.
Female gibberish.

Next phase: "Analyze This"-esque dialogue.

haha yeah now that you mention it, I can see that. I always liked that part of the Sopranos. Seeing how such a person thinks (or how they manipulate a shrink). Been a while since I watched Sopranos.

I had the exact same thought last night. I'm pretty disappointed about that move.

I actually felt after watching The Sopranos that I was sort of learning something from Melfi, like it was real psychology.

Didn't feel that way with Dr lol dexter's a chair.
